We bring to your attention an example of an essay based on Komarov's painting "Flood" for grade 5. Komarov is an animal painter who depicted animals on his canvases. One of the reproductions of his paintings lies in front of me. The name of this painting is "Flood". According to this work by Komarov "Flood" we have to make a description of the picture.
The painting “Flood” by Komarov depicts early spring. This is the period of time when there are still snows, but the bright sun is already warming. Sometimes this leads to rapid snowmelt, which is accompanied by flooding. Most often, the flood comes unexpectedly, catching everyone by surprise, including animals. During this period of time, forest dwellers have to save themselves by leaving their minks, climbing hills, and someone escapes by climbing trees. One of these animals was depicted in the painting “Flood” by Komarov and this is a frightened, fluffy bunny in a still light fur coat.
True, on the back and on the ears that are raised up, a dark color appears. The hare climbed onto a tree branch to protect himself from the water, which covered the entire earth for long distances. The animal is frightened and this fear is displayed in its large eyes. The animal froze, clinging to the bark of a large tree, Its paws are tucked in, with its claws it clings tightly to a branch, its hair is upright. He watches with panic, fear as the muddy water gets higher and higher. In the distance we see a grove that is displayed in the water and we understand that water is everywhere, there is no salvation. But, not everything is so bad, because there is always hope, you just need to believe.
Komarov is considered one of the most talented animal painters.
Animalists are called artists who skillfully depict animals in their works.
It is not for nothing that they say that in order to depict an animal, an artist needs to know not only about their appearance, but also about the characteristics of their characters and sometimes even habits.
This kind of knowledge helped this artist create his bright and expressive masterpieces, one of which.
Is the picture "Flood".
And in my opinion, this work tells about a bunny, which most likely got into trouble.
The early spring is depicted on the canvas, when the warm sun melted the snow and the flood came, which always comes suddenly.
On such days, the water in the river begins to increase at an incredible speed and floods everything around.
Not only people suffer from the flood, the most blow falls on the animals, which are forest dwellers.
Most animals have to leave their burrows in a hurry and look for new shelters from water, finding hills or other places where water will not reach them.
On this canvas, we see the artist depicted a hare, which, out of fear of a flood, climbed onto a branch of a large tree, and froze pressed against the bark.
His large eyes are filled with fear from what is happening.
He cautiously raised his ears up, and most likely listens to what is happening around him.
It seemed to me that the hare sometimes looks down at the muddy water, which rose very close to its branch.
I felt sorry for the poor hare, because there was no way he could escape, the water was about to rise to his branch.
Even if the hare can climb a higher branch, starvation will inevitably await him.
In the event that the flood does not begin to subside, the hare will remain hungry.
I wanted to think a good continuation of the picture, that the water began to recede, and the hare escaped.
It is unfortunate that with such natural phenomena, innocent little animals have to die.

A hare on a tree A hare lived on an island in the middle of a wide river. It was still a young, not very smart hare. He didn't pay any attention to the fact that the river around his island was shedding ice with a crash. On that day, the hare slept peacefully under his bush. The water in the river began to rise quickly. The next morning, only a tiny piece of the island stuck out of the water. A thick, gnarled tree grew on it. The hare began to jump on a tree, but each time it broke off and flopped into the water. Finally, he managed to jump onto a thick, lower bough. The hare perched on it and began to patiently wait for the end of the flood.
I once for firewood In a boat I went a lot of them from the river To us in the spring flood catches up, I go, I catch them. The water is coming. I see one island of a small Hares gathered on it in a crowd. With every minute the water crept up To the poor animals; already under them there was less than an arshin of earth in width, less than a sazhen in length. Then I drove up: they babble with their ears, Themselves from their seats; I took one, I commanded the rest: jump yourself! My hares jumped, nothing! As soon as the oblique team sat down, The whole island disappeared with iodine water: “That's it! I said: do not argue with me! Listen, bunnies, grandfather Mazai! That way Gutorya, sailing in silence. A column is not a column, a bunny on a stump, Crossing its paws, it stands, unfortunate, Took it and its burden is not great!
Look closely at the reproduction. Who is the main character of the picture? At what point did the artist capture the hare? Describe the animal: what kind of eyes, head, ears, hair does it have. Where is he sitting? What does he feel, worry about? Think, the moment that is depicted in the picture will be used at the beginning or at the end of the essay?
The brown hare has brown eyes, long, large ears, stiff whiskers. The coat of the hare is thick, brown-yellow on top, with dark speckles. On the neck it is yellowish-brown, behind it is gray-white. The coat color changes in winter and summer. Coloring helps rodents hide from enemies. Define the style of this description.
Define the style of the description data. What is the best description? The head of the bunny is oblong, the muzzle is white, in the middle there is a dark brown stripe. The eyes are round, shiny, dilated with fright. The ears are long, sensitive, erect. The fur on the back is fluffy, dark gray in color, on the chest it is yellowish, with a pink tinge. With bated breath, the hare sits on a thick branch of an old oak and waits for what will happen next. He cringed all over in fear. The wool on it stood upright. The rabbit's chest is yellow. The head of the animal is large. Round eyes look scared. Long reddish ears with black spots at the ends stand alert. The hare looks with fear at the water, which comes to the tree itself.
Spring is the most beautiful time of the year when everything around comes to life after a long winter hibernation. Usually, not only people who are tired of cold and frost, short days and piercing wind, but also animals are looking forward to spring with great impatience. Therefore, the animal painter Alexei Komarov could not help but turn to this topic. This amazing and talented painter not only watched animals a lot, trying to understand their behavior, remember their habits, but he himself depicted them later in his canvases. One of his paintings is called "Flood", and the most ordinary forest hare becomes the main character.
The painter carefully observed how interestingly the earth comes to life after the cold, how the earth slowly and beautifully throws off its annoying winter shackles, and as soon as the sun begins to peep a little and its first rays hit the earth, it is transformed.
It starts to come to life and wake up all around. The plant suddenly becomes green and incredibly alive. And the recent grayness of old and stale snow begins to change its color and becomes brighter, richer and more saturated. Animals come to life during this period, even hares, which easily change their old fur coat for a new one.
But the artist saw and observed that the melting of snow brings not only the spring transformation of the earth and animals, but can also bring great misfortune. He tried to tell about this in his plot picture about a hare. So, the first rays of the sun appeared, which help to melt the snow, and immediately small plants were drawn to these bright rays. But the snow, turning into water, begins to fill the rivers and lakes, overflowing them. As a result, water overflows the banks and floods everything around. Artist Aleksey Komarov himself witnessed such spring floods many times.
Alexey Komarov showed a hare in his amazing plot picture. This defenseless animal seems very small compared to the water that began its offensive. But the most terrible thing is that the animal turned out to be completely unprepared for this plight, for a catastrophe and, taken by surprise, is trying to save its life. It can be seen that the season on the Komarovsky canvas is spring, which came too early and took nature by surprise. Snow and ice, melted by the bright rays of the sun, led to the fact that the flood began.
Water, falling into the hand, overflowed its banks and began to flood the coastal land. Soon it spread over the field and even reached the forest. At first, it slowly and timidly filled those places where small bushes grew, and then, having grown bolder, it poured further, deep into the forest. It became terrible for the forest dwellers, and then it was disastrous and hard for them. It was necessary to quickly escape them, so as not to die from the advancing icy water. All the animals, leaving their dwellings, rushed to save themselves in places that towered like hills above the rest of the area.
Among them was a gray hare, who had not yet had time to change his winter coat for spring clothes. From this, it seems completely inconspicuous in this winter forest landscape, and merges well with the rest of nature. To save himself, the hero of the painting by the artist Alexei Komarov tried to climb onto a strong branch of a young tree. This grayish twig is his only hope of escaping from the oncoming water. The poor hare hid on this branch, watching how quickly the water rises and, pressing against his small body, trembles with fear.
But only the dim rays of the sun still do not give heat at all, therefore, having melted snow and ice, causing sweat, they cannot warm the fur of a frightened forest dweller in any way. He is cold, but tries not to move, as he is very afraid of falling into the water. And you can see it in his posture. The wool of this animal casts pink shades, just like that the sun's rays are reflected on it. Large dark eyes are wide open and both fear and fright are easily read in them. Long gray ears are turned up, and they listen to every rustle and noise. And the sound of icy water frightens him greatly.
Sometimes the hare looks down and sees how the water level is getting higher, creeping closer and closer to him. The poor forest animal does not know at all what to do, because at any moment this cold, dirty ice water will soon be next to him, and he will die. But if he does not die from water, but it is not known how long it will stay at this level. And then the forest dweller may face death without food. The long-eared forest dweller has nowhere to wait for salvation, but he still hopes for a happy rescue. He perfectly understands that this spring flood will someday stop and it will be possible to run on the ground again without fear of water. Or maybe when the water subsides a little, he will be able to get to the forest, which is a little further and a little higher.
The painting by Alexei Komarov evokes pity and compassion. I want this story to have a happy ending, for a forester to sail on a boat and save all the poor animals that became hostages of the icy water.

Talking streams flow and ring everywhere. The water rises above the banks, flooding the fields, meadows and shrubs, forming small islands. On one island, under a bush, a hare was sleeping. He slept so soundly that he did not hear the noise and gurgling of the rising water. And only when the water touched his paws, the bunny jumped up and looked around. In fear, he began to rush around the island, and the water kept coming and coming. It seemed to the hare that nothing could save him. And suddenly he saw a dry mighty tree. It was an old branchy oak.

5. Description of the picture.
The painting by A.N. Komarov “Flood” depicts a hare in trouble. In one of the big spring floods, the hare found himself on a flooded island. Fleeing from the flood, he guessed and managed to climb a tree.
With bated breath, the hare sits on a thick branch of an old oak and waits for what will happen next: will water come?
He cowered in fear, tucked his long hind legs under him, and stretched his front legs forward so as not to fall from the tree into the cold water. He arched his flexible back, and his fluffy fur stood up straight.
The hare's breast is yellowish with a pinkish tint, the abdomen and sides are gray. The fur on the back is of different shades: it is brown, and gray, and brown, as if speckled. The rabbit has a big head. Round eyes look scared. Long reddish ears with black spots at the ends are alert.
The hare looks with fear at the water, which comes to the tree itself. In the water, as in a mirror, dark silhouettes of trees are reflected.
I like and dislike the picture. I like it because the life of nature in spring, its beauty, is very well drawn on it. I don’t like it because the fate of the poor bunny is unclear. Will the water fall or rise, will the hare be saved or drown?
